Gardeners’ Workshop I

Pottery is the perfect art form for all you earth-loving gardeners. What could be better than designing and making something from "clean" mud that becomes permanent and useful when fired (baked) in a kiln (oven)?
This beginner workshop will concentrate on the hand-building technique of pinch pots. Various ways to texture and decorate the clay surface will also be presented. This technique can easily be performed at home without the need for a potter’s wheel. Each participant will create one small terracotta “herb” pot that will then be fired.

Time: 1 hour

Date: What day is convenient for you?

Registration fee: $40 plus $5 materials fee

Who: Beginners welcome--no previous experience necessary.
